Understanding Hip Pain

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint where the femoral head (ball) fits into the acetabulum (socket). Hip pain can arise from the joint itself or from surrounding structures — muscles, tendons, bursae, or nerves. Pain may be felt in the groin (classic hip), outer hip (greater trochanteric), buttock, or even referred down to the thigh and knee.

Common Causes of Hip Pain

  • Hip osteoarthritis — the most common cause in adults over 50
  • Avascular necrosis (AVN) — loss of blood supply to the femoral head
  • Hip fractures — particularly in older adults with osteoporosis
  • Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (bursitis and tendinopathy)
  • Hip impingement (FAI) — abnormal contact between the ball and socket
  • Labral tears — damage to the cartilage ring surrounding the hip socket
  • Rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory conditions
  • Referred pain from the lumbar spine
  • Muscle strains and tendon injuries
  • Developmental dysplasia of the hip

Symptoms of Hip Problems

  • Groin pain that may radiate to the thigh or buttock
  • Pain worse with weight-bearing, walking, or climbing stairs
  • Difficulty putting on shoes and socks (restricted hip rotation)
  • Limping or altered gait
  • Stiffness after sitting or on waking
  • Clicking or locking sensation in the hip
  • Shortening of the affected leg
  • Outer hip or buttock pain (lateral hip pain)

Diagnosing Hip Pain

A thorough history and physical examination — including gait analysis and specific hip tests — guides appropriate investigations.

X-rays of the hip and pelvis (AP and lateral views)
MRI for soft tissue, cartilage, and AVN assessment
CT scan for bone anatomy in complex cases
Bone scan for stress fractures or AVN
Ultrasound for bursitis and tendon assessment
Diagnostic injection to confirm joint-origin pain

Treatment Options for Hip Pain

Non-Surgical Options

  • Activity modification and rest
  • Physiotherapy — strengthening hip abductors and rotators
  • Walking aids during painful episodes
  • Anti-inflammatory medications
  • Corticosteroid injections (ultrasound-guided)
  • PRP therapy for tendon conditions
  • Weight management

Surgical Options

  • Hip arthroscopy for impingement and labral tears
  • Core decompression for early avascular necrosis
  • Total hip replacement — gold-standard for advanced hip arthritis
  • Minimally invasive hip replacement with faster recovery
  • Hemi-arthroplasty for femoral neck fractures in elderly patients
  • Revision hip replacement for failed prior implants
